@Gregg HenryYou could try the county clerk recorders office at 2954 Richardson Drive Auburn, CA, 95603 and run a property profile to see who's holding legal title.The address will match the assessors parcel number which will show you who's paying the tax bill...

When you see one demographic outperforming the other, you mix and match the successful metrics.

You can find local REIA event through the Biggerpockets events section or meetup.com4) If you are still unable to find a CPA that matches your needs.

It's been awhile since I signed up with AirBNB, but I believe they make you submit government ID and a selfie (that you take that moment) so they can match it up.  

Unless you advertise it, I highly doubt any potential tenant will be able to tell the difference if the colors match!

Or we have a new proprietary product, Home Fund Me, that allows you to crowd-fund for your down payment - with free matching funds available!

I managed the rentals myself up until early this year when I hired a property management firm in order to get some free time back, have some backup so I can go on vacations again,  and in response to the hostile political environment towards landlords in seattle.My long term plan with REI is to get to a large enough door count such that with sufficient equity the net cash flow is enough to live on comfortably  (which I would define as matching my current gross software engineer's salary).    

This way, you are earning $ but, more importantly, not risking anything AND at the same time you are learning what's good, what’s bad (what the professional buyers like or don't like and why) as well as the entire due diligence/backend process so that after you do a few of these transactions, you will be MUCH better prepared to invest in notes for your own account.I've been working with new note investors for 20 + years, matching them up with the right funder depending upon the types of transactions they want to refer.

.- Any expense on line 14 "repairs" can only be added back with a bunch of supporting documentation matching exactly & based on a human underwriter's judgement call on the "one time" nature of it (and how that underwriter's mood is on that given day) on a one-off basis.

I think what I'd be trying to do in your shoes is match the mortgage interest and depreciation exceed your net income.
